The Preamble, the very foundation of the Constitution, makes it clear that the document's purpose is to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves AND our posterity.

The word "posterity" is not only inclusive of the unborn, but of the as-yet unconceived.

The Constitution does not confer rights -- it is a guarantor of rights that are conferred by God.
